A new theatre performance exploring the weight of keeping traditional Irish music alive and the artist’s need to express their true self.Danny O’Mahony has dedicated his life to the mastery of his instrument as well as to the preservation and performance of Irish traditional music. Now, after 40 years of breathing life into centuries-old tunes, Danny revisits pivotal moments from his past — his first taste of music as a child, the mentors who shaped him and the unrelenting pursuit of mastery that left room for little else.
Alongside Danny’s sublime live playing, Bellow features original electronic composition, new writing and contemporary dance, heightening the tension between past and present.
"The piece in a most untraditional way is a hymn of praise to the accordion in the Irish music tradition." — No More Workhorse
